NORTH-EASTERN HILL UNIVERSITY

North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) was set up by an Act of Parliament and notified on 19th July, 1973. The objectives of the University, as laid down in the Act, are “to disseminate and advance knowledge by providing instructional and research facilities in such branches of learning as it may deem fit; to pay special attention to the improvement of the social and economic conditions and welfare of the people of the hill areas of the North-Eastern region, and, in particular their intellectual, academic and cultural advancement”.

With the establishment of Nagaland University in September, 1994 and

Mizoram University in June, 2001, the jurisdiction of the University has now been limited to Meghalaya. Initially, the academic departments and the administration of NEHU at Shillong functioned from two prime sites in the city; one acquired from the former Maharaja of Mayurbhanj and the other from the Rani of Bijni. Subsequently, the University started functioning from its own campus is located in the picturesque surroundings of pine forests in Mawkynroh-Umshing, Shillong and another campus at Tura.

In a short span of 35 years, NEHU has matured into an institution with a

proven academic excellence of higher learning and research, social commitment and cultural interest with a clear vision for its future growth. In the year 2006, it was chosen as a ‘University with Potential for Excellence’ by the University Grants Commission (UGC). It has been able to attract persons of proven academic excellence from almost all parts of the country to serve on its faculty; the present faculty strength is 342. Its student community is drawn not only from different parts of the North-East but also from other regions of the country and abroad.

NEHU now has 31 academic departments and 5 centres of study under 7

schools. Eight departments of the university receive special grants from UGC under its Special Assistance Programme, which includes Centre for Advance Studies in the Department of Botany. Three of the science departments also receive grants under UGC’s COSIST programme. The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has extended financial help to six science departments as part of its FIST scheme. In addition, CSIR, DST, DAE, DRDO, UGC, Ford Foundation, DBT, and MoE & F, NEC, etc. have awarded a number of research projects to members of the faculty of different departments. The University is the recipient of a number of endowments of various organizations and individuals. Awards like the Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma Literary Award, Prof. M. K. Khare Memorial Prize, Smti. Sarada Krishna Iyer Memorial Award, U Tirot Sing Memorial Prize, Prof. M. N. Karna Young Sociologist Award and Rajendra Kumar Sunheri Devi Jain Charitable Prize/Award have been instituted. NEHU has two prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Chairs for research on “Protective Discrimination” and “Contemporary Studies” (Tribal Development). Several members of the faculty have been honoured with the highest academic awards in the country. Many of our teachers are involved in collaborative research projects with universities in USA, Europe and Asia. One of the basic ways in which the University endeavours to fulfill its responsibility, as enshrined in its Act, is by focusing its attention on the North-East in its curricular programme including research.
